Have you been looking for the next best thing to read? Overwhelmed by your options in the comic book store? Comic guru Mike Zapcic offers his recommendations in comic book reading from this Wednesday's new releases.

BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT #2

[DC Comics]

"In a Gotham City where the Joker has been 'cured' of his insanity, he now goes by Jack Napier and tries to repent for his depraved past. When public support for Batman dwindles, the city rallies with the ex-Joker as he becomes a hero for the middle class. But just who exactly is this new Jack Napier, and is he truly the reformed hero the public thinks he is?"

ASTONISHING X-MEN #5

[Marvel Comics]

"Charles Xavier must defeat the Shadow King to save the Astonishing X-Men...but how can he when he's also a pawn of the King? It's Psylocke to the rescue as we see some old wounds reopened in the latest issue."

THE WALKING DEAD #173

[Image Comics]

"It seemed as if Jesus was about to lose his head at the end of last issue, but we see just how much of a badass he really is. Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard downshift this issue just to give everybody a breather -- except for that last page. WOW."
